Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Romford
In Romford, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset.
An extension in Romford with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Romford sits around 14 miles from central London, inside our London area. That includes the RM1 postcode district.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
